Like Dennis Waterman in Little Britain when he lifted that mug
@
0:43 I'm sorry HOW BIG is that mug?! I've seen huge mugs in my life and own a few but that thing's massive!!

Where can I get one of those LBC swimming pools?

Im just pleased that the Hacks were fed duff info from their "sources"!

Healy as Chancellor and McFadden and Mahmoud staying at Work & Pensions and Home Office respectively means continued austerity

I need that coffee mug but I live in the U.S. The tariff will be bigger than the cup!

That's not a mug. THAT'S a mug!

Scrapping DSIT is an absolutely idiotic move.

Or
d) Telling you it was Miliband was wilful misdirection

John Healey quits as Defence Sec, contributing to Starmer being forced out gets Chancellor of the Exchequer, that's nice for him. I see the multiple names "nailed on" for that role have successfully distracted from how incredibly sus that is.

It shouldn't have been a surprise. He's also a quietly competent respected politician. Wish I'd put money on him 😂
@
First time I’ve seen the mug. OMG!
@
Size of that cup! I had no idea James was a short guy ?

I do find Healey's appointment amusingly ironic; 'You must be able to find the money for Defence spending, and if not, I quit'! One month later 'Okay then John, where's that money for Defence spending then?'
@
No wonder Five Mill Farage is panicking. A PM who can't be labelled "London elite", looks 20 years younger than him, and actually has a chin😂
@
James, the hosepipe bans will go away if you simply spill the huge mug pal.

This is a bold move, but I wonder if the lack of a fresh mandate will make it harder to push through those "circuit-breaker" policies. If he wants real systemic change, wouldn't a formal election give him more leverage with the public? Curious to see how he handles the legitimacy argument.
